Hi Aladinsane

sorry to hear  you e  joined our small exclusive club that no one really wants to join. I thu i we’ve contacted via Macmillan site ?

i am niw 6 month post radiotherapy for tonsil cancer wiyh spread to lymph nodes and soft palate and anterior wall of mouth ,was given all clear on 14 jan my treatment was 35 radiotherapy sessions n 2 chemotherapy.i am still suffering dry mouth m didn’t have a peg but atbweek 5 was given a nasal feeding tube for 6 weeks. 

I have a blog www.radioactiveraz.wordpress.com where i go into detail of my treatment and recover also with link to anither guys blog .

sorry can’t be more precise specific to yiu but it may help to know that although treatment is tough the results are good.

ask away any questions and will get back to you. 

All I can say ian hang in there , a girl who I met early in treatment was sick every day we are all different everyine reacts differently ,just keep your radiotherapy tram and nurses in the loop they will help as much as they can

haze,

yes I first posted on Macmillan, I have really suffered since starting radiation treatment, the consultant said with it getting aggressive they would normally combine it with chemo but due to my other health problems this isn’t safe, I find it difficult to talk, always feeling like my throat is closing up, and wasn’t expecting the nausea feeling this quick as only had 9 treatments, I will have a look at your blog as it does help knowing it’s not just you going through this and reading the success story’s, I’ve witnessed a few ringing the bell while waiting for my appointments.

many thanks

Good luck keep,drinking as much as you  keep,swallow function going instruggked with tap water  and still,do ours is very tainted so use bottled water even now. Anither food thread in here is Anchor 107 Radiotherapy for Throat Cancer lots of good advisements on there

like I said  ask away
